*****************************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues,
Workshop W3. Understanding communication products and protocols: Volcano alert level system
Leaders: Carina Fearnley, Sally Potter, Annie Winson
If you are interested in implementing or reviewing your observatory
volcano alert level system and communication products and protocols, we
kindly invite you to attend the pre-conference W3 Understanding communication products and
protocols: Volcano alert level system at the Cities on Volcanoes 9 conference (Puerto Varas, Chile, November 20 – 25, 2016) http://www.citiesonvolcanoes9.com.
We also invite those interested in the topic to attend the workshop including:
- volcano observatory staff
- users of the communication products e.g. civil protection / emergency management, aviation, land managers etc.
- academic interested in the communication of volcanic hazards and risks.
Details of the workshop: 1.5 days. Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th (morning only).
Aim of the workshop:
The aim of this workshop is to focus on the Volcano alert level
systems (VALS) and communication products and protocols used at various
volcano observatories around the world to communicate to various user
groups and vulnerable populations. Representatives
from observatories are invited to present their existing VALS and
communication procedures, and describe how it was developed, and why. As
part of the workshop, a simulation exercise using a VALS will be run
and the challenges and benefits of VALS will be
discussed. Aspects for the working group to investigate further will be
identified, and a plan made for future workshops and potentially new
collaborative research.
This workshop, organized by the Volcano Alert Level Working group
(within WOVO), invites all stakeholders working within VALS to share
their knowledge, experience and potential barriers. It is intended to
establish best practices so that all practitioners
can benefit, particularly those who are devising new systems, or
accommodating newly standardized one.
Please note that this workshop complements Session S2.9 'Volcano
alert level systems: interpreting and managing volcanic crises’, where
we invite all stakeholders working within Volcano Alert Level Systems to
share their knowledge, experience
and potential barriers. It is intended to establish best practices from
which all practitioners can benefit, particularly those who are
devising new systems, or accommodating a newly standardized one.
Registration fees will cover workshop participation - for more information please see: https://www.citiesonvolcanoes9.com/en/program/scientific-technical-program/workshops/
We look forward to seeing you in Chile!
Kind regards,
Annie Winson
